338. Bring All of Yourself Into the Room | with Melanie Weller

A patient once walked into Melanie Weller's clinic with a suicide planned for that night. 

She had no protocol for what he was living through. She had herself.

Melanie is a physical therapist, a nervous system expert, and something she calls a neurotheologist - a word she'd been looking for long before she found it.

This isn't really a conversation about neuroscience.

It's about what happens when you stop leaving parts of yourself at the door.

In this episode, we unpack:

• Why hiding parts of yourself creates stress.
• The difference between expertise and intuition.
• What "Fearless Presence" really means - and why so many high performers are missing it.
• Why your body may know before your mind does.
• A simple breathing practice to calm your nervous system.
